October 2015:​

​It's with special pride I announce the publication of Holes: An Indie Author Anthology.The Indie Author Support and Discussion Group which I can take some small credit in helping set up, proudly presents Holes: An Indie Author Anthology. My own contribution to this excellent collection is a sort of slapstick comedy of British buffoonery (Think of the classic film comedy 'The Plank' and you'll get the idea)..... Well, It ain't my Hole ....By Paul A. RuddockStarting with the theme of holes of any kind, an international group of indie authors put their writing minds to work to come up a collection of stories that will make you laugh, cry, shudder in fear, and want to clap your hands. Inside you'll find stories about:

A twisted story about innocence and revenge.A young woman racing for her life and her love against the age of clockworks.A man who lost his life in a traffic accident and discovers the afterlife is being stuck in a classroom.A young African schoolteacher who tackles a band of ruthless, marauding terrorists.A Russian mobster who made a deal and thought he'd found a loophole to get out of it.A cautionary tale about being careful what you wish for...you just may get it.A place where life disappears to when you're not watching.A question about whether we are really the dominant species and masters of our own future.A reader-interactive comedy of errors.An anomalous client demanding something written from the soul, a soul he is threatening to takeAn Inspector Winsford murder mystery.A legacy gift that just goes on giving.Slapstick comedy with a touch of British buffoonery (My contribution...Yayyy)A pretty tease who toys with her theology professor until dark revelations stop her in her tracks.

Some stories are full of sorrow, others full of joy, but all of them will leave you wanting more.

March 2015:

Well, after over a year of writing, blogging, and writing numerous reviews of other writer's books, I'm finally on the verge of publishing my own first book, an anthology of flash fiction and short stories, along with ten stories by guest authors whose work I know and admire. Sometime within the next few weeks 'Not What You Though...? and other surprises, will be published via Matador Books. My original intention was for an eBook version only, but after an unexpected offer of funding from a local enterprise organisation, I'm happy to report that said anthology will also be available in print format, although this latest development has inevitably lead to a slight delay in production and publication.

All the royalties from the sale of this book, excluding those that go to Amazon, were originally donated to the 'Forget-Me-Not' charity in aid of homeless ex servicemen and those affected by PTSD but sadly due to health issues with one of the charities' founders any royalties are now donated to a variety of military service related charities.
